Black People Politics : "Pity the sad legacy of Barack Obama" : Cornel West

[willa]

I appreciate the information about the reality about 'the casualties of war'. I don't believe that women and children should ever be hurt, harmed or killed in this way! Whether it's their own people or America, this is a great evil against all humanity. I am grateful though for America and any peaceful country who make intercessions to help others even if America burst into another culture to help out, especially since they are a super power.

I absolutely don't understand how this 'drone' issue can be blamed on President Obama though.

"Hi, Chevron Dove. I don't see how anyone can blame President Obama for drone accidents either. He, as Commander and Chief is trying to protect our service men from flying the bombers, by keeping them from being shot down and taken by, in this case Al Qaeda (mentioned by Ms. Meir). We are also fighting ISIS and other radicals who the President would rather fight to protect us on their shores than defend us from them on our shores. Also they would do such awful things to our soldiers if they got shot down and were captured alive.

Regarding women and children hurt during a war. You are so right it is a great evil to happen to humanity. Unless we can identify evil and then try to talk them out of their blood thirst. What are the odds they will change their ways? Not much. The only way left is to destroy it and that is the woe, because there is always the horror that runs along side a war. If we do nothing then that evil spreads and dominates with death and takes freedom from us. So it comes to sacrifice with casualties, to protect all the women we can, children, families, cities, even nations. So I support Obama using drones.

As for me, I'll pick a worm off the sidewalk and throw it into grass rather than see it struggle to dig through cement to live. That's why I don't fish. Hope there's always a grocery store. Strangely I would value the worm over saving types like ISIS killers.

“The Black Power Defined,” June 11, 1967

“The majority of Negro political leaders do not

ascend to prominence on the shoulders of mass support.

Although genuinely popular leaders are now

emerging, most are still selected by white leadership,

elevated to position, supplied with resources and

inevitably subjected to white control. The mass of Negroes

nurtures a healthy suspicion toward this manufactured

leader, who spends little time in persuading them

that he embodies personal integrity, commitment and

ability and offers few programs and less service.

Tragically, he is in too many respects not a fighter for a new

life but a figurehead of the old one. “

Martin Luther King, Jr."

Hi RAPTOR, I'm seeing a lot more brilliant Black leaders today which have arrived to also influence and lead white people. That is what's new. I don't know if the Black community is listening to these leaders though. Maybe that is what Dr. King was talking about. "New life." Have you heard what Reverend Owen has said? He is a Republican ever since he learned that L.B.J. Democrat President said he wanted to give the Black community something to control them for the next two hundred years. He said more on that subject. I heard him talk two days ago.

I don't know if I agree to aggressive fighting on other people's shores but I understand what you say about such reasoning. Who started all of this stuff in the first place?

Identify evil... in this you said a lot.

I don't know enough about the Middle east to agree that they are the beginning of evil either though.

Uhhh, okay? Are these "brilliant black leaders" today political leaders? and if so, being that you are "seeing a lot" of them, can we get some names please?

deal with trump, if you can...

I will in time. However obama is still in action:

Obama Declares Cuba and Venezuela National Security Threats
The United States declared a national emergency to deal with perceived "threats" in Cuba and Venezuela
on Friday, along with Iran, Libya, Ukraine, Zimbabwe and countries Washington claims "support terrorism."
The declarations effectively extend for another year economic sanctions already in place.
President Barack Obama warned that one of the main national security threats to the U.S. is mass undocumented
immigration from Cuba, days after he ended the "Wet Foot, Dry Foot" policy, which granted residency to Cubans
who arrived in the U.S. without visas, reported Sputnik.
